Happy Birthday, Jesús!
August 21st is the birthday of one of my dear students and friends, Jesús Guerrero. Along with his wife Adri, who is also a student and friend, they join us for our classes in Cholula and at Parque Ecológico whenever they’re in town. These days, they split their time between Puebla, Puerto Vallarta (JAL), and Mexico City.
Ever since we met in June 2024, usually over a good cup of café de olla, we’ve built a friendship based on trust, where we’ve been able to open our hearts and talk about our personal experiences and inner journeys. Very early on, we noticed how much our own experiences and paths of inner growth had in common.
Whenever we’ve opened up during a personal conversation and brought something to light that had been hidden or that we simply hadn’t noticed before, we’ve been able to be there for each other, offering presence and support. In doing so, we’ve helped each other see things from different perspectives and, at times, even heal old wounds.
For all these reasons—and simply because they’re such wonderful, open-hearted and fun people—I feel very lucky and grateful to have the opportunity to practice Tai Chi and Chi Kung with them and, most importantly, to share a friendship. This time, we also got to celebrate his birthday together with his son, Jesús Adrián, and the morning Tai Chi Cholula group, enjoying a delicious breakfast of traditional Mexican food and a really nice time together.
